Eugene Field

My son was enrolled in Eugene Field Elementary School for less than a month for his Pre-K year. We withdrew him because he was being mistreated by both teachers and students and the principal was unwilling to deal with issues that arose and blamed us for my son's "problems". He has minor autism. They knew of his autism at enrollment. And he's attended a school environment since he was 2 1/2, but when we started noticing changes in his demeanor, I brought it up to the principal, she got defensive and hostile. In the few weeks he was enrolled, his teacher made him stay in class when he was sick, not once but twice. He had four "accidents" in his clothing on one of these occasions and they never called to inform me or to let me come pick him up. He had been potty trained for nearly two years and four "accidents" in one day was not common. Once I got him home and found out, I took him to the doctor and he had the flu. He even had a fever when I brought him home! In January, we enrolled him in Porter ECDC and he improved greatly. However, his trust for teachers is not what it once was. I now homeschool him because he's no longer eligible to attend Porter ECDC due to his age. -1 rating
